Many of these outfit ideas involve exciting under-$100 finds that are not only having quite the moment on Instagram but also satisfying my desire to shop (sans the guilt). From cool Nike socks to an expensive-looking H&M rib-knit set to trending New Balance sneakers, below I’m sharing all the coolest under-$100 finds that fashion girls have been wearing on Instagram lately. If you’re looking for a cheap thrill, read on to shop them for yourself.
